Information Mercy M. would like to know about your pet

I have no problems with behaviors such as biting, excessive barking, pulling on walks, hyperactivity/zoomies, anxiety, chewing, digging, humping, issues with potty training and more so long as it is discussed before hand so I can prepare as needed. I am comfortable with animals that have disabilities and health issues such as diabetes, loss of limbs, and negative mobility. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to request clarification please contact me. I look forward to providing the best care possible!

A typical day

I love to provide a fun and safe environment that your animals want to attend. A typical day would include doggy tv on 24/7 in the living room. I enjoy going on walks, runs, and exploring nature. I would love to take your animal on one of these adventures if it is okay with the owner, if not that’s completely fine. Activities would include running around in the fenced in yard, playing games like tug of war, and enjoying the plethora of toys available at my house. If your furry friend enjoys car rides I am beyond stoked to take them out riding around as well.

Loving Pet Care Available

Pet care experience

Throughout my years I have taken care of a variety of animals ranging from lizards, cats, dogs, snakes, skinks, and many more. Throughout this time with these loving animals I have learned so many valuable tools regarding pet care. Some include safe/healthy treats, handling, working with behavioral issues, knowledge regarding toxic household plants, exercise needs, and more. My goal is to provide a welcoming, safe, and fun environment for your beloved family member.

Mercy took very good care of Brutus and I would recommend her if you need a good dog sitter.

This was our second time booking with Mercy. She’s extremely communicative and always makes sure we know what’s going on with our boys while we are away. She gives detailed visit notes and gives us pictures. She also blows us away every time by going over and above by sweeping/mopping after the dogs, taking out the trash, and even picking up around the house while she’s there. Absolutely the best sitter we’ve ever used, and will continue to be repeat customers.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
